Painting Series Autumn Forest is my new landscape series. Catching all the colors of a bright day in the forest has been a complete joy. I’ve taken photos on my walks to the near forest, just to have reference point for my future work in the studio.
But as the painting has evolved, the subconscious memories of all the paths walked so many times since my childhood, walked alone or in the company of my parents, sister, friends, kids, cousins, husband, have returned and merged into the palette of autumn nature.
Many things have changed in this forest since my childhood, some paths have been overgrown, new trees have embraced the sky, wind and snow have broken old spruces and lonely walkers have walked down some new paths. But as different the appearance of the forest might now be, with almost unrecognizable parts since many years ago, yet the colors, sound of the wind in the pine trees mixing with some distant birds sweet songs and the smell of the brown earth cowered with the golden leaves remained just the same as they were in my early memories…….
